Cosmogenesis

Creating a universe gets fiddly

Designer: Yves Tourigny | Artist: Tim Barton

Cosmogenesis is a worker placement and drafting hybrid, where players create their own stellar systems by colliding asteroids and comets with gas giants and planets. Luckily, scientific knowledge is not a pre-requirement for the game. It attempts, by its own account, to (semi-)faithfully reflect the scientific processes of the universe, without overtaxing players with complex physics and biology – and, to some extent, it succeeds in doing so.
